"It will make the open space more accessible for visitors and will mean more varied events will be able to take place."
The structure in Southfields Park will be used to hold events and offer shelter for visitors.
The new canopy includes a central structure along with further covered canopies surrounding its perimeter.
Cllr Jennifer Tillotson, the Council’s lead member for economic development, regeneration and town centres, said: “It’s fantastic to be able to open the new multi-use canopy at Southfields Park.
“The new structure brings a huge improvement to the park and the surrounding area. It will make the open space more accessible for visitors and will mean more varied events will be able to take place.”
The canopy has been funded through Loughborough Town Deal as part of the Living Loughborough project which is being led by Charnwood Borough Council.
Loughborough Town Deal is backing 11 projects after securing £16.9 million of Government funding. In total, the projects are worth over £40 million of investment for the town.
